x = -6.2749172 ≈-6.3
x = 1.27491722 ≈ 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
For quadratic equations, you can use the quadratic formula. Rearrange the equation to standard from, which is ax² + bx + c = 0.
x² = –5x + 8
x² + 5x - 8 = 0
State the values for "a", "b" and "c",
a = 1; b = 5; c = -8
(Ignore the Â, it's a formatting error)
Simplify
Two negatives make a positive
Split the equation at the ± for plus and minus:
= 1.27491722 ≈ 1.3
= -6.2749172 ≈ -6.3
Therefore the solutions are 1.3 and -6.3.
Answer:
a. Earnings of Enguun for 12 hours this month (G)
G = 204 dollars
b. Earnings of Enguun for 19.5 hours last month (G)
G = 331.5 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Nomenclature
G: Total earnings of Enguun in dollars
E: Enguun's earnings for 1 hour of tutoring (dollars/hour)
n: number of hours that Enguun tutored per month (hour/month)
Formula
G = E*n
E = $17 per hour = 17 dollars/hour
Problem development
a. Earnings of Enguun for 12 hours this month
n = 12 hours
G = E*n
: We eliminate hours
G = 204 dollars
b. Earnings of Enguun for 19.5 hours last month
G = E*n
G = 17 * 19.5
G = 331.5 dollars
